Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 3 levels of reality — Adhi Atmika, Adhi Daivika,
and Adhi Bhautika
9 June 2007
In the Global Family Chat on 9 June 2007, on the occasion of celebrating the
achievements of Dr. John Hagelin, Minister of Science and Technology of the
Global Country of World Peace, Maharishi said that having heard Dr. John
Hagelin's perception of reality, it was a very great satisfaction to hear the
proposal from the President of Maharishi University of Management (MUM) to have
this day celebrated year after year into the countless future [with the new
Tower of Invincibility that will be built at MUM].
Maharishi continued: [Comments in brackets are additions by the editors]
This day is being celebrated by the collective consciousness of so many thousand
students of Dr. Hagelin who have been engaged in the scientific research on the
surface of life in the gross, and internally in the depths of their own
self-referral consciousness. In this they have generated this day, the value of
which we have heard beautifully described by Dr. Hagelin. All the field of the
smriti (memory), [is] the memory of the unified field. Within the unified field
- the endless depth of absolute silence deep within the ocean - is the silence,
and this silence has a memory. This silence is its self-referral state and the
whole memory of what the self-referral is. Complete self-referral is fully
awake in two kinds of memory: memory of the deepest level of the ocean -
infinite silence - along with the memory of the surface values of the waves of
the ocean. So waves of the ocean on the surface [come] from the ocean silence
and memory. This 'waves of memory' is the connecting link between great,
endless surface activity and great silence. Infinite activity on one level,
infinitely silent on the other level - and both connected with the memory. And
this memory is what? Memory is [made] lively by the devata. There is a word in
the vedic literature, the devata. What is there in the self-referral state?
Everyone knows, and I have repeated a thousand times - I'll just remind you -
'Richo akshare', the 'Ak', the collapse of infinity,
'A', into 'Ka'.
And what is the big collapse? What is collapsing? Infinity into a point. So
this is what we say - memory, memory. This is Smriti, and wherever there is a
movement (collapse means movement) from one to the other, from one to the other,
that contrasts with the silence. Silence is steady. 'Move' is silence losing
its absolute nature and gaining its relative
nature.
So this move of the silence, how it happens? The Rk Veda says 'yasmin deva adhi
vishwe nisheduh'. 'Richo akshare parame vyoman'. The richas are in the
collapse in the transcendental. And what is there? 'Yasmin deva adhi vishwe
nisheduh'. 'Deva adhi vishwe': [it is] the devatas that
uphold the administration of the universe; [it is] the devatas that bring
about multiplication of the unity. These devatas reside in the
transcendental, self-referral field. So here is a whisper of vedic science to
physical science. What is the whisper? The whisper is that there is a connected
link from complete self-
referral to object-referral, and this is the administration of the universe,
and this is the veda. 'Richo akshare para-me vyoman, yasmin deva adhi vishwe
nisheduh'. The devatas are in the structuring dynamics of veda. What [are the]
devata here? Devata are - I give a word and that word I am mentioning, Dr.
Hagelin has taught to his students - they are able to produce the effect of
national administration rising more and more in its successful value.
Successful value of administration [means] everyone is happy, no one is in any
way difficult to each other; no one in conflict, no negativity; all health,
wealth, wisdom everywhere. This is the administration of the devata value. In
this we have three values: [1] transcendental self-referral value,[2] the devata
value, and [3] the physical transformations of devata.
Dr. Hagelin has been explaining to the students in terms of the physiology of
the brain. All the research of our Maharaja Raam-ji, who said "Physiology [3]
is the expression of consciousness [1?], of intelligence [1?], and this
intelligence is awake [2]." This is active in terms of devata, in the company
of intelligence So there is self-referral; now we call it Brahma [1]. Now we
are seeing how many levels [there are]. One level is Brahma, Brahma [1];
the other level is Devata [2]; the third level is the physical universe [3]. So
these three levels of reality - transcendental, self-referral consciousness, the
field at the basis of the physical creation [1]; being at the basis of physical
creation [3], it is that which creates sensory perception, sensory levels of
reality - the five senses [2]. So there is a distinction.
The distinction will also be on another level, which is intellect.
Now intellect has its value in five bifurcations of the one Total Reality. In
the vedic expression, the world of the Reality is divided into three values.
[There are] three values now - Adhyatma [1], Adhideva [2], and Adhibhuta [3].
Adhyatmika, pure spirituality, pure unity, self-referral totality, Brahma [1].
So Brahma is a combination of the two values, knowledge and action: science and
technology together. Knowledge and action, that is Brahma [1]. And then another
level of Brahma [is] this level of the veda, the level of devata [2]. And
devata level is the level of Ayur Veda - that being when 'A' becomes 'Ayu'
divided into today, tomorrow, next day.
The kala [time] - the periods come along, and when the periods come along,
division of infinity comes along, and when the divisions come along, then
dis-unity comes along, physical universe [3] comes along. So from the physical
universe [3] to the non-physical, which is the cause of physical, to the devata
level [2], and from the devata to the unifying state of all the devatas, that is
Brahma [1].
There is a word in the vedic literature - the word is Raam. 'Raam Brahma' [Raam
is Brahma], pure spirituality, also Raam [1]. Raam is the ruler of the three
worlds; Raam is the ruler of three worlds because it is a summation. It is a
unity of millions of devatas [2]. There are millions of Devatas in the veda
[2].
On the vedic level [2] [are] the organizational laws - the system
of administration of the vedanga - and the Raam Brahma level, the Brahma level,
[is] the transcendental level [1]: transcendental to the three qualities of the
veda [2] - rishi, devata, chhandas; three values, in terms of reverberating
values, reverberation of the first one [1].
Brahma is 'nirguna nirakara Brahmaa', Totality, transcendental, all
self-referral [1]. That means atma level, atma level [is]
that self-referral, transcendental [1] - and when it is on the working level
[2], then it is creating multiplicity from atma. 'A' [is the] first syllable of
atma [1]. 'A' is again the first syllable of the veda [2]. So atma [1] turns
into veda [2], and Veda [2] turns into vishwa [the universe] [3]. Vishwa
is multiplicity.
So three levels of reality. These are the Vedic words: adhyatmika [1], adhi-vaidika
(devata) [2], and adhibhautika (physical) [3]. Adhyatma, spirituality, Adhyatma,
spirituality, pure spirituality, pure Unity, so 'Raam Brahma paramarath rupa' [Raam
is Brahma, the ultimate goal of life] [1].
And Raam is veda [2]. Veda is Raam, the administrator of the universe [2]. The
constitution of the universe [2] [is] in terms of Raam. Raam, the constitution
of the universe, is in terms of the veda [2]. It becomes physical in terms of
the physical Raam, the Raja coming from the Solar dynasty, the physical Raam
[3]. So [there are] these three values, and Dr. Hagelin has been
not mentioning the vedic terminology in order that the students go straight
from reality to reality to reality. [There are these] three levels of reality,
and he has created within them the insight into the three values Raam
Brahma [1], Raam veda [2], Raam vishwa [3].
These three values are and will be contained on the level of meeting in
the central university: Maharishi Central University. Three values. Brahma
is the ruler, 'Raam Brahmaa paramarath rupa' [1]. Raam. The word 'Raam': 'Ra', 'Ra',
'Ra' - the reverberation of 'A', reverberation of 'A' is 'Atma' [1]. In terms of
self-referral it is 'A', self-referral flow of veda [2]. And the flow of veda,
'A', explains from infinity [1] to point [3]. The whole range of performance of
activity is in terms of devata; that is called Devata [2]. Each word of the
vedas has its meaning in all the three, and that is one word 'Raam'.
That is why the phrase is 'Raam Brahmaa paramarath rupa'. And Raam, Ayodhyate
Raam, Raam, the ruler of the world, ruler of all the countries, having this
capital in Ayodhya, [is] Ayodhyate Raja Raam. So Ayodhya, the dwelling place of
Raam, has three characteristic qualities to it - Ayodhya the physical Ayodhya
[3]; Ayodhya is the Ayodhya of the devatas [2]; and Ayodhya of Brahma [1].
Exactly the same thing in the body of everyone. 'Aham Brahmaasmi", I am Brahma
[1]; I am veda, 'vedaham' [2]. 'Aham Brahma' [1], 'aham veda' [2],'aham vishwam'
[3], I am the universe, I am the physical [3], I am the mental [2], I am the
transcendental [1], I am all that there is. I am all that there is. Every
person is the embodiment of the unified
field: it's a matter of knowing or not knowing. If one doesn't know,
one doesn't enjoy; if one knows, one enjoys.
So this is the first class in the long hundreds of centuries in the history of
university education, where Dr. Hagelin has spearheaded Total Knowledge in the
unified field. Total Knowledge in the unified field. And the expressions of Dr.
Hagelin through all these years, the Raja of England [Raja Peter Warburton] has
collected, and we have connected it. So there is a phrase, a very enjoyable
phrase: 'My Lord, I am offering you what you have bestowed on me.'
'Tvadiyam vastu Govinda tubhyam eva samarpaye: 'Whatever you have offer ed to
me, I am offering to you.' [Thy gift, my Lord, I surrender to Thee]. These
beautiful sentiments from Dr. Hagelin today came out from the day [Dr. Hagelin's
birthday] and from expressing all these transcendental values of knowledge on
three levels - on Brahma level [1], and the devata level, and the devata level
is the veda level, veda [2]. Every word of the veda is the devata, the devata.
All the eight values of every devata Prakriti [ego, intellect, mind, 5 senses],
they are all the veda in veda form, the whole thing is like that... So this
division of Total Knowledge, this is how we got it from Guru Dev, so fully
adored by Dr. Hagelin, and spoken in the language of science. Scientific
language is the language of the science, and it is used to project the
transcendental, self-referral, eternally quiet value [1]. [It] is expressed by
Dr. Hagelin as joy, to his students, and the students have to do the effect of
it. They'll produce the national consciousness of America on a high level of
invincibility. A few more [students] at a high level and then [we'll have] the
total invincible national consciousness of the USA.
And they are establishing a university where all the universities of the world
will sooner or later become the branches of this university, and everyone in our
world will be enlightened. That is the will of Dr. Hagelin to the world, and
that exemplifies something that was unimaginable before. All the countries
[make a] big, big fuss over the management of the government in this and this,
it's a huge thing, but no government has succeeded in having this true nature of
life lived by its
people.
Here is one big leader of the world who says 'Now you are cosmic in nature and
you have to live in a cosmic house.' He has a house that is in conformity with
all the laws of nature. We have to give them [all the countries] an economy
that is endless; we have to give them a politics that is based on unified
politics...
So unity is being substantiated - the classified value of unity is being
substantiated; one is many, and each of the many is made of one... That is an
infinity [1] made of points [3], and point made of infinity. These are the two
areas of vedic science: vyakaran (expansion) [toward 1], and nirukta (the
contraction part of it) [toward 3]. Vyakaran and nirukta both together
constitute the totality of a point, and the totality of a point is the totality
of the veda [2]. That is Jyotish. Jyotish, all-
knowingness here, all-knowingness, and all capability of right action. It's a
huge outburst of Total Knowledge that fortunately Dr. Hagelin has been
receiving from the Vedic Tradition of Masters. Knowingly, knowingly he brought
himself up to know what he knows. Then he saw he knows the reality and he
started to give reality to his students, like that. And his students are rising
up, with leaps and bounds higher up and higher up, and higher up. With the joy
of being in university in any class, they don't know anything about reality. A
few weeks, a few months, a few years in this university, they are [rising]
from earth to heaven. High
bounds of reality, high bounds of reality.
This is the leadership that we want to have laid out in every country, for all
the countries will have branches of this Maharishi Central University, Maharishi
Central University. Universities are everywhere; globally, each country has its
own universities. Now this will be the central university for all the
universities, because each university around the country has its speciality, and
this Central University will have a speciality central to all the universities.
This will be a union of all the universities. Whatever all the universities
are speaking in any country, every student of this will get Total Knowledge.
That will be great liberal contribution of Dr. Hagelin, genius as a scientist
for the future of the world. All bliss consciousness for the world.
So today it is very good that everyone has joined the celebration
of Dr. Hagelin, and Prime Minister [Dr. Bevan Morris], start from today to
fix up the monument [the Tower of Invincibility, in memory of
the Invincible America Assembly and its leader, Dr. Hagelin] and fix up the
monument by Guru Purnima*; that will be the best day to offer to Guru Dev
in eternal memory of his blessings. All the future of mankind is made in
happiness in invincibility.
All Glory to Guru Dev**. We've got this great thing to offer to Guru Dev, 'tvadiyam
vastu Govinda tubhyam eva samarpaye'. We offer to Guru Dev everything that we
receive from him.
So, Dr. Hagelin, there is a great deal for your to do in the world, but on the
level of your balance - many hours morning and evening [practice of the
Transcendental Meditation and TM-Siddhi Program] - you will do the whole thing
with such ease and comfort, with which you have received it. Enjoy the glory of
Guru Dev and bless the world.
Jai Guru Dev
